INGREDIENTS

***Rice Pudding:
1 cup cooked rice
3 eggs, beaten
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon fine-grain koshersalt
2-1/2 cups whole milk
½ cup raisins

***Blueberry Cinnamon Sauce (optional)
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, then thawed)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scald the milk by heating it to very warm in a small saucepan, not to a boiling point, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the warm milk while whisking to combine. Fold in the rice and raisins with a spatula. Pour into a 9”x9” square casserole dish. Place casserole inside of a larger baking plan. Pour hot water 1-1/4” deep around casserole into larger pan (for even cooking of rice pudding).

Bake for 60 minutes.  (Tip:  This is optional, but I like to stir my rice pudding halfway through the baking process for a more even consistency and distribution of spices).  When rice pudding is finished baking, remove casserole from water. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Meanwhile, make the blueberry cinnamon sauce by whisking together the brown sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan, and add the remaining ingredients, then heat to medium-high heat.  Stir with spoon constantly until mixture boils, and then reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes, while occasionally stirring.

Serve rice pudding topped with blueberry cinnamon sauce. – Enjoy.
